Listen deeply. Speak honestly. Imagine boldly.

 

Story Worlds expands on the foundations of a literature festival to celebrate storytelling in all its forms: oral, written, and material.

The festival brings together thinkers, artists and communities to delve into themes designed to spark conversation, creativity and connection.

Returning in 2027, Story Worlds will once again present a vibrant programme of conversations, workshops, performances and creative encounters that celebrate the power of stories to connect people, place and ideas.
